Civilian Info
Name: Sarah Meldon
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Occupation: Seamstress
Face Claim: Yuzuki Yukari (Vocaloid)
Physical Description: Mid-length lavender hair pulled in a few messy ponytails (and a lot of loose bunches) and large sad violet eyes on a 5'11" pale, weak body underdeveloped due to long years of illness.
Personality: She's very gentle most the time and avoids trouble whenever she can due to her physical limitations, but if she sees something going on in front of her, or if something is effecting a friend of hers, she can't ignore it. She's great for listening to your problems, and if you ask she will think on how you might solve them, often over a cup of tea or while working.
"Mild mannered" usually describes her very well, but on occasion something manages to fluster or irritate her, and if a problem is taking longer than anticipated to solve, or if she's getting tired out, she can exhibit a deadly flash of anger that catches most of those that know her by surprise as her priority changes suddenly to "fix the thing as quick as possible, usually by force."
Super Info
Alias: Breeze (sometimes with a modifier indicating her mood, such as Raging or Gentle)
Costume:Sewn by herself, it resembles a magical girl dress like the shows she used to watch (and still does, but won't admit to anymore). Named "Lavender Gale," it's a frilly lavender dress with white ribbons, and shorts sewn into the underside and big white wings on the back. Many pockets were built in, and she usually wears it over her regular clothes. To hide her identity, she wears a lavender masquerade ball mask shaped like a butterfly.

- Power/Skill Name:Bird Talk
Description:She has the ability to communicate with birds, as they can understand her human speech and she can understand their twittering.

Description:She can control the air, or more specifically the oxygen molecules (if you're someone that understands the science behind it; she is not one of those).
Paraphernalia (If applicable):She has medicine she has to take at regular intervals, since what gave her her powers was an experimental treatment for her illness.
Category:Meta- Power/Skill Name:Breathing

Category:Meta
Weaknesses:- If there's strong wind about, it can be hard for her to do much more than breathe.
- Being of weak physic, if she pushes herself too hard, her powers will start to falter.
- Being deprived of her medication for too long. This will kill her. She takes it daily, but if she loses access to it, it would probably take a week or two to completely leave her system as she loses her abilities one after the other. Breathing is the last to go and the first to come back.
Other Equipment:- She keeps a standard sewing kit with her.
- She has extra meds in pill form, and her childhood friend has some just in case as well, though he only knows they keep her condition at bay and not that they give her special powers.
History: Sarah grew up an only child in a well-to-do family, but had been sickly since birth. She had never been strong enough to go play outside, and barely had the strength to walk to school a few blocks away from her house, though she was a keen learner and quick with her hands. A significant portion of her childhood consisted of going in and out of hospitals and visiting countless doctors, trying one experimental treatment after another in an attempt to cure her.
No one really noticed when she started talking to birds, or if they did assumed it was the whimsical imagination of a child. But the most recent medicine (which failed to cure her) had given her the ability to understand and be understood by birds, and they told her the most fantastic stories of far away places and flying without tiring. What made others notice her superhuman abilities was when, at the age of 16, she and her parents were injured when failing to escape after a Super Advisory Warning was issued where they were shopping. Her parents died, but despite having foreign objects poking out of her lungs, and the doctors verifying that she was in fact not breathing, she continued to survive, and most the damage was medically repaired, but her lungs were gone. After they decided she could only be surviving through the use of Metahuman abilities, steps were taken to get her a Super License so she could continue living and inherit what remained of her family's possessions after everything that had been spent on medical bills, including continuing her supply of the last experimental drug she had tried, since it lessened her symptoms slightly and made her able to live without lungs, though it did not seem to have any effects on the other members of the clinical trials as far as she knew.
After recovering and obtaining her license, she quietly moved from Contega to Marshalsville and started working as a seamstress to support herself. While she has requested public anonymity, she has let the MCD know that, should a recently-registered Metahuman desire help with their costume, she is more than willing and skilled enough to take care of it for them, at a discounted rate.
Anything Else?
Sample RP: Sarah sat on her couch, resting from a long day of sewing by sipping her favorite Earl Grey with plenty of milk and sugar and watching TV. But all the shows she followed were doing reruns... She sighed and started flipping channels while contemplating going to the library for a new book instead.
A news channel came up. She usually avoided the news. As she was about to change channels again, a story about a Villain at the library popped up.
I hope Celine is ok. I don't want to get involved. I just want to relax and not get out of breath. I want to not hurt today, she thought fervently, watching the details unfold with resigned curiosity. Whoever had taken over the library had led with a smoke bomb. A lot of the library employees had reached safety by following MetaAssault Protocols. They didn't know if any patrons were trapped inside. And then shy, quite Celine poked her head out of the front door holding a sign of the Villain's demands. Sarah sighed again and started changing into Lavender Gale. Then she saw the tears in Celine's eyes, and that the demands were scrawled in red marker on cut book pages. The Raging Breeze was at the library before the news reporter was able to read the full list of demands, dispersing the remaining smoke, pushing Celine the librarian out the door to a waiting MCD officer, and hitting the Villain over the head with compressed air amid a whirlwind of pages he had cut. - Power/Skill Name:Breathing
